New York ambientalist Sun An makes his second entrance on Weed Temple through his minimal & magnificent mini-album, fogging up the world in a haze consisting of all those small moments of calm or happiness collected from throughout the day, all pressed into a cozy blanket of warm, fuzzy drone. Ethereal, almost non-existent melodies add a touch of barely noticeable, fleeting beauty. All I want is calm.
If you ever had a sense of emptiness and absence of something intangible after the end of Jeff Witscher’s Marble Sky project, Sun An comes to the rescue. Just like the cover, the music on the album offers an escape from the noise of the outside world (considering it was recorded right in the center of the capital mundi, the New York City, the word “escape” has a whole new meaning) into the microcosm of simple beauties, smooth-as-silk slow-paced melodies and meditative bliss. Absolutely stunning, yet so absolutely simple.
